% and 20
      #467396 - 06/02/2004 23:38

Can't show this problem, as the site won't allow. If you try to show a clickable or clear text url link that contains the % and 20 character in near proximity in the link, those characters are wiped out. Hence link useless. Any chance of a bug fix?

See MCA coding and Chain length threads in Mobochat

Thank you :)

Yep, I tried about 10 times with the Wasi anchor link and couldn't get the "%" & "20" to paste. It only seems to occur when these are placed together with no space inbetween.

Not too sure about this but they may be filtered out to avoid spoofed URL's

Would help if the website concerned didn't leave spaces in its URLs

Glitch something to do with way mark-up treats info (it sees space and so truncates everything afterwards). It's on the list.

You can overcome this problem by replacing the % by the five-character string:

%

Don't ask me why, but it works, e.g. Wasi Anchors
